Sources of Contamination
Human sewage, livestock manure, fertilizers and erosion of natural deposits. Homes using well water are far more susceptible to Nitrate and Nitrite contamination in their drinking water.
Potential Health Effects
Methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome). The most severe health effects are seen in infants under the age of 6 months. Miscarriages are also a reported effect.
Treatment Methods
Point-of-Entry and Point-of-Use methods include Reverse Osmosis with thin film composite RO membrane, Anion Exchange, Nitrate “Selective” Anion Exchange resins, Distillation and Electrodialysis.
